William Drummond Earth Poems

  • 1.
    The last and greatest Herald of Heaven's King,
    Girt with rough skins, hies to the deserts wild,
    Among that savage brood the woods forth bring,
    Which he than man more harmless found and mild.
    ...
  • 2.
    Sweet bird, that sing'st away the early hours
    Of winters past or coming, void of care,
    Well pleased with delights which present are,
    (Fair seasons, budding sprays, sweet-smelling flowers)
    ...
  • 3.
    My lute, be as thou wert when thou didst grow
    With thy green mother in some shady grove,
    When immelodious winds but made thee move,
    And birds their ramage did on thee bestow.
    ...
  • 4.
    Doth then the world go thus? doth all thus move?
    Is this the justice which on earth we find?
    Is this that firm decree which all doth bind?
    Are these your influences, Powers above?
